I hear you. I like Korver, he stretched the defense and did about everything the Jazz asked him to do. But here are the facts:I dont mind losing Korver, but the Jazz didnt even make an offer?
The Jazz get similar production from Wesley Matthews, who was a rookie this year (more room for improvement than Korver), turns 24 in October, and will probably cost them around $4M per year. Maybe more.
They also get similar production from CJ Miles, who is 23 years old and costs $3.7M this year.
The Jazz may eventually get decent production from Gordon Hayward, a 20-year-old rookie who will cost $2.3M this year.
Korver is 29 years old, only played 52 games this past season, will be 32 by the end of a 3-year contract, and was just paid $5M per year by the Bulls.
He did good things for the Jazz, and will do good things for the Bulls, but I'm not sure they should have made him an offer. They have several options that are cheaper, younger, and have more upside.
